Crossing the Channel: British and French Painting in the Age of Romanticism
October 8, 2003–January 4, 2004
Special Exhibition Galleries, The Tisch Galleries, 2nd floor
Some 100 paintings and 50 works on paper by such artists as Constable, Turner, Delacroix, and Géricault chart the rich cultural exchanges between France and Britain between 1820 and 1840. A selection of major works that created a dialogue between the two national schools emphasizes artistic affinities in terms of subject, technique, and theoretical approaches, showing that British art made a defining contribution to French Romanticism.
Accompanied by a catalogue.
The exhibition is made possible by United Technologies Corporation.
The exhibition was organized by Tate Britain, in association with
The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Minneapolis Institute of Arts.
